On October 19th, 1904, at Urbana, Illinois, during a week a high south-west gales, I observed a fresh, unrubbed moth at rest on a small tomato that had been placed on a bench in the sun to finish ripening, and in the process had cracked open. The haustellum wad extended down deep into the juicy fruit and the moth gave every apperance to sucking the juice. No Other individuals were noticed abroad at that time.
